Chroma derives from the Greek word “khrōma” meaning color, which could possibly explain the large portion of blooks being recoloring of existing blooks.

Snow Globes for CelebrationsDear buyer, due to lighting effects, display brightness, manual measurement, etc., there may be some slight differences in color and size between photo and the actual item. Sincerely hope you can understand! Thank you! And despite—or, perhaps, because of—their penchant to be viewed as “kitschy” and “low-brow,” snow globes have recently crossed into the realms of fine art and design. Since the mid-2000s, Brooklyn-based duo Ligorano/Reese have been turning the traditionally child-friendly object on its head with snow globes that replace Santa Claus figurines with cuss words, drug references, and the seven deadly sins. (Ligorano/Reese have also made “ History of Art” globes that feature the names of 20 influential art movements, such as Surrealism and Fluxus.)

Every one loves the beauty and quality of CoolSnowGlobes®. When you buy directly from us, you can be assured you will receive an authentic CoolSnowGlobe®.In the very beginning, the snowflakes (also known as flitter) were made of wax, bits of soap, metal flakes, ground rice, sand bone fragments, or even meerschaum (a white clay-like material). With mass production in mind, the flakes are now composed of glitter or plastic particles. The only exception to this rule is the Pumpkin King blook, as its pumpkin design is very different from the Pumpkin blook itself. Shopping for a gift for an animal lover?

Sea Snow Globes, Sea Turtles, Waves and Coral The Paris Exposition welcomed more than 52,000 artisans from all over to display their fine and dandy productions to the world. It is believed that at least 7 artisans in the exposition presented the snowball, therefore it is likely that the invention of the snow globe predates the first mention in the exposition.

The miniature scenes inside the globes started to see a shift from the 1940s – the festive and religious scenes were replaced by travel destinations and advertisements of hotels or amusement parks. By the mid-1900s, the snow globe was a staple American product used for advertising and improving morale during the Second World War. The growth of the plastic industry in the 1950s further improved ( or rather cheapened!) the snow globe production. Expensive materials used for the globe and the snow were replaced with cheaper alternatives, thus making the product easily available and accessible for all parts of society. Old- fashioned tower- shaped crystal ball with beautiful snowflakes inside, very stylish and delicate. It can be a music box, it will make a sound after power on. Gradually, news of the whimsical trinket reached America. In 1927, a man from Pittsburgh named Joseph Garaja applied for the first snow globe patent there, and with it, he introduced a radical new method: underwater assembly. This ensured that each globe would be fully filled with liquid and saved a significant amount of time and money—transforming the snow globe from an expensive indulgence into the affordable commodity we know today. With intense trial and error, Perzy gave birth to a whole new industry of high-quality snow globes. He established his snow globe factory along with his brother Ludwig in 1905, and also became the first person to obtain a patent for “a glass globe with snow effect”. While the formula for his signature globes is a trade secret, it is said that a Perzy ‘snowfall’ lasts around two minutes, unlike its lower-quality imitations.The 1920s brought the snow globe to America where it instantly became a collector’s item. In 1927, Joseph Garaja applied for a patent in the US and created a new underwater assembly line wherein the globes would be completely filled with water. This process was time and cost-efficient and ended up making the snow globes more accessible. The snow globe: an emblem of winter, a cherished childhood trinket, a gift-shop staple. It’s an object that simultaneously evokes holiday cheer and, for some, eye-roll-worthy kitsch. Snow globes are irresistible for their promise of brief, easy entertainment—plus the added visual delight of the whimsical miniatures found inside.
